Synopsis

Quote: George (Matt Damon) is a blue-collar American with a special connection to the afterlife dating from his childhood. French journalist Marie (Cécile de France) has a near-death experience that shakes her reality. And when London schoolboy Marcus (Frankie and George McLaren) loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each seeking the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might – or must – exist in the hereafter. Academy Award winner* Clint Eastwood directs this haunting original tale from a screenplay by two-time Oscar nominee* Peter Morgan. Jay Mohr, Bryce Dallas Howard, Marthe Keller and Derek Jacobi also star.

It got a mixed reception from critics, but three of which I know from the former At the Movies show really liked it (Roger Ebert, Richard Roeper, and A.O. Scott) and it has a good score on IMDb. Thus, I'll probably rent it.

I saw it. I was hoping for more, as I was blown away by Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby. Damon is only in 1/3 of the movie, so the cover will be misleading to some. I felt it lacked the emotional punch the trailers were pushing. I'd give it a 5/10

Having been one of the few people who actually saw this movie, I can say that I loved it, and look forward to purchasing the Blu. It brought up a lot of questions about life, and what comes after. Very thoughtful and beautiful film.

It's funny I didn't think I'd like this but turned out to really enjoy it. I may rent it to see special features but I don't think the film would have much replay value. Same with gran torino it seems that eastwood take a little longer than some to come out.
